    Well, I am new to this site (and any reef forum for that matter) and after thousands of dollars, countless hours and 7 years of being in the hobby (my wife thinks I am crazy..:-/), here is all I have to say for it (see picutes).

    Wanted to get your thoughts, comments, suggestions and criticisms on the tank. I look at it every day so would like some fresh blood to take a look at it.

    Thanks for your time and I am excited to be apart of this online community (to be around more "reef freaks" like myself). There is still so much I don't know :confused:????

    Great looking tank. What are the dimensions and size of the tank and what equipment are you using? i.e., Power Head/s, lighting, filter etc?

    I've never seen a colony of candy cane's that big before. Looks great.

    Breathtaking tank!!! Amazing candy canes!!!!
    Can we explore more about your Custom LED fixture?
    Like approximate design params? (i.e. - total wattage, dimmable?, ratio of white to blue LEDs, LED brand, etc)

    Again, incredible tank and any information (pics:p) would be greatly appreciated!
